  • Help! turn signal light wont come on, even after changing bulbs

    today, i noticed when i turned on my left turn signal to turn, the green arrow on my guage cluster didnt blink like it should...it stayed on. this usually means that one of my turn signal bulbs is out. so i check, and the only light not working is the day time running light on the driver's side (the larger of the two turnsignal lights). so i think, no big deal...its happened berfore...i just need to replace the bulb. well, i got home and changed the bulb out that's not working and it still doesnt work. i even tried the bulb from my right turn signal because i know its fine, but it wont work in my left turn signal either. can anybody give any suggestion as to whats wrong? the only thing i can come up with is...maybe the fixture that the bulb goes into is out. i dont know. please help!

    Mine does that when the relay goes bad (and trust me they are a POS) The relay is located under the knee panel of your dash (DS) next to the steering column. Go get a heavy duty one and problem should be solved for a while (mine lasts about 3 years).

            That happened to me on both sides. The ground wire for the socket got loose and caused the turn signal not to work. I just got some used ones, soddered them together, good as new!
